Four Strong Winds

Here’s a simple little song with a special nod to our Canadian friends. Ian Tyson wrote “Four Strong Winds” in 20 minutes (or so he once claimed). He recorded it with his wife Sylvia (of Ian & Sylvia fame) and it quickly became a staple of the folk music scene of the 1960s. It was covered by fellow Canadians Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, and, well, just about everybody else who had a guitar and a recording contract. Twenty minutes well spent, I would say. As always, thanks for listening and commenting–hope you like it!
